Should the Club put it's foot down?

Any evidence for the statement     "the reality is not a great deal"  , DD?

(Please don't ask me to do my own research - I've no idea of the cost but you really ought to be prepared to back up that claim!)

again what are the fees per pitch, (or is this like your site complaint you were going to tell us all about)

CPES (Caravan Parks Electrical Services) already do most of the installations and testing of CC Ltd site services.  Each Bollard should be checked each year.  Installing a plug-in meter takes seconds.  These can be monitored by the office computer, just a bit of software needed.  Go on to: https://cpes.co.uk/products/metering/ download the brochure and have a look at smart metering.  The cost would be the subject of negotiation between CC Ltd and CPES and any negotiator worth employing should be able to get the cost low simply because of the size of the contract.

I suspect that the majority of members are happy with the present way of charging for electricity and with its simplicity.

Seconds, now I know you are not seroius.

Takes seconds per EHU , yes at 200 sites and 50 pitches (a serious underestimate) is 10,000 pitches or even if a bollard that supplies four pitches, you still need four separate plug in meters?

Now a few seconds, unwrapping the box, taking it out plugging in will take (lets be generous) 30 seconds? That is 100000 seconds, or a total of 83 hours, what is the hourly rate for fitting one of these. Then who is going to read all those meters

BUT where is the money going to come from. Low or not is money that cannot be recouped, it is all wasted.

Anyway I look forward to your own estimate. (also that site you complained about)

Where I have encountered it the reading is available in the office and if there is anything to pay its added to the bill as one checks out.

Whoops just realized the CC operates payment in advance so that would complicate things.

Technically it is quite a simple job and the costs are not massive per pitch.  I like the idea as it means that it is fair.  Use a lot, pay a lot.  Use little, pay little.
